What is the difference between a scrum master and an agile leader?

Before I answer that question, what is the difference between a scrum master and an agile coach? $200 a day.

  • working with other teams of teams;
  • helping people to understand how scrum works;
  • how agile works; AND

The difference between a scrum master and a leader

If you start with the scrum master, what should a scrum master be doing?

  • Scrum master should be observing through whatever senses they have, for example, seeing sensing, smelling, seeing the body language, and observing what’s going on. That means a lack of judgment. Eg, I observe that when you behave like this, something happened and so on.
